  • •Chainguard Workspaces offers isolated microVMs for secure AI development.
  • •Chainguard Checks integrates CI directly into the development workflow.
  • •Both products aim to reduce supply chain risks and improve coding efficiency.

On October 16, 2026, Chainguard announced two beta products, Chainguard Workspaces and Chainguard Checks, aimed at enhancing security in AI-assisted software development. Chainguard Workspaces provides developers and AI agents with isolated microVM environments to prevent supply chain risks associated with running code on local machines. This setup allows multiple parallel sessions without conflicts over resources. Chainguard Checks integrates continuous integration (CI) into the development loop, enabling faster testing and feedback for code changes. Both products aim to mitigate risks from compromised dependencies and streamline the development process. They were unveiled at the Assemble London event, responding to the growing need for secure coding environments in the face of increasing reliance on AI agents in software development.
